WEEELED TOY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 15, 1914.

Application filed September 30, 1914. Serial No. 864,315.

To all whom it may concern Be it lmown that 1, J OHN KAsTURA, a subjectof the King of Hungary, residing at Duquesne, in the county of Alleghenyand State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in -Wheeled Toys, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to wheeled toys and has for its object to providea toy of such class, capable of being thrown into operation when the toyis propelled causing thereby considerable amusement to a child.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a wheeled toy which issimple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable andinexpensive.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists ofa novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts ashereinafter more specifically de scribed and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention,but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modificationscan be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereuntoappended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote correspondingparts throughout the several views :Figure 1 is a sectional elevation ofa wheeled toy in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a sectionalplan.

Referring to the drawings in detail 1 de notes a base, providedcentrally of its upper face with means to constitute representation ofan anvil as indicated at 2. The base 1 has one side provided with alateral projection which forms a support for a vertically disposed pin4. The base 1 has arranged centrally therein a pair of rectangular slots5, 6, the former is of greater length than the latter and arranged inproximity to the one end of the base, while the other is arranged inproximity to the other end of the base. The slots 5, 6 are positioned inlongitudinal alinement.

The forward end of the base which is indicated at 7 has projecting fromeach side thereof a shaft 8 and loosely mounted upon said shaft 8 arewheels or circular disks 9. The rear end of the base is indicated at 10and journaled therein is a transverse extending shaft 11, providedintermediate its ends with a crank 12, the latter being positioned atthe slot 5. The shaft 11 projects to each side of the base 1 and hasfixed thereto a wheel or circular disk 13.

Extending transversely of the slots 5 and fixed in the base 1 is a pin14, having piv otally mounted thereon, the lower end of a miniaturefigure 15, the latter having an arm 16 thereof provided with a sledgehammer 17. Pivotally connected to the lower end of the figure 15,'as at18, is a link 19, which is pivotally connected as at 20, to the crank12. Pivotally connected as at 21 to the lower portion of the figure 15,is a longitudinally extending coupling rod 22.

Secured in the base 1 and extending transversely of the opening 6 is apin 23 having the lower end of a miniature figure 24 pivotally mountedthereon and said lower end of said figure 24 is furthermore pivotallyconnected as at 25 to the connecting rod 22.

Loosely mounted upon the pin 4, as at 26, is a vertically disposedminiature figure 27, which has connected to one of its arms therepresentation of a piece of iron as at 28. Fixed to the lower portionof the figure 27 and secured to the lower portion of the figure 24, isan angle-shaped rod 29.

One of the arms 30 of the miniature figure 24 has a sledge hammer 31connected therewith.

Owing to the manner in which the miniature figures 15, 24, are connectedtogether, when the base is propelled, one of said figures will have itsupper portion moved toward the anvil, while the other of said fig ureswill have its upper portion moved away from the anvil and owing to theway in which the figure 27 is connected to the figure 24 it is obviousthat when the upper portion of the figure 24 moves toward the anvil thefigure 27 will be shifted on its pivot, so that the element 28 will bemoved away from the anvil, but when the upper portion of the figure 24moves away from the anvil, the element 28 will be shifted toward theanvil and as the figure 15 moves toward the anvil when the figure 24moves away, the sledge 17 will be shifted downwardly toward the element28.

lVhat I claim is 1. A wheeled toy comprising a base having a verticalpin, an oscillatory figure mounted upon said pin, a pair of oscillatoryelements supported by said base and connected together, front and rearpairs of wheels for said base, a crank shaft fixed to the rear pair ofwheels and an operative connection between said shaft and one of saidelements for oscillating said element's when the base is propelled, andan angleshaped rod connecting @said figure to one of said elementscausing the oscillation of said figure simultaneously With theoscillation of said elements. v

2. A wheeled toy comprising a base hav ing a vertical pin, anoscillatory figure mounted upon said pin, a pair ofoscillatory elementssupported by said base and con nected together, front and rear pairs ofwheels for said base, a crank shaft fixed to the rear pair of wheels andan operative "shaped rod connecting said figure to one of said elementscausing the oscillation of said figure simultaneously ith theoscillation of saidelements, and means to constitute therepresentation'of anvil carried by said base in position between saidelements and oppositesaidfigure. v In testimony whereof l affix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses... c v -JOHN KASTURA.
